SCC
SBTi status: Committed in February 2022
This Birmingham-based IT group announced its commitment to set science-based targets in line with SBTi at the start of 2022, something it told IT Channel Oxygen it will do in the next two months.
The announcement built on the £3.3bn-revenue outfit’s existing commitment to halve its direct emissions by 2030, SCC CEO James Rigby stated.
Distinctive detail
SCC this summer installed a 737kWp solar system on the roof of its Birmingham datacentre. The project is designed to create 130 tonnes of carbon savings in the first year.
The project also aligns with parent Rigby Group’s ambition to become net zero by 2040, SCC said. Rigby Group has recently launched Project Sequoia to progress this work, it added.
What they said
“Data centres account for around 2% of all global carbon emissions. This landmark green energy project is the latest step in decarbonising our Group operations, demonstrating our commitment to a greener future and achieving Net Zero by 2040,” – Paul Southall, Head of Sustainability and Projects at SCC
